Don't Get Racked!!

Just thought it is cool although I don't park in the garage. $170 may be expensive but nice way to protect your kayaks.

That's cool pretty soon we won't have to think at all

There are people who actually park in their garages?

 .....Happened to me at Jack in the box....Forgot I had like five kayaks on the roof!

I'm usually the guy behind you when that happens.   

Guarantee anyone that forgets gear above the car and smashes it into the garage, will only do it once and learn from it.  If not, there isn't an electrical device made to make it idiot proof for them, as they would probably forget to turn it on.

 

This device only protects you in your garage. What about fast food? Drive up window the bank? Parking garages?

Back when I was building mountain bikes, I wound up with a client that was 265 lbs and 6'6" tall. I basically built a tandem weight bike for a single person. He rode that bike for years (vs the one year average that off the shelf frames would give him) until he drove it under something.  He later told me that the bike got bent up a bit, but that he totally messed up his racks, car, and caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to the building. That bike was hellastout...

Me, I've been lucky so far. Knock on wood....

Been there. Tried to drive into my garage with my carbon fiber mountain bike on the roof rack. Bike was ok, the handlebars took the brunt of the impact. My car was not so lucky. The bike carrier was bent, the car's roof dented, and the windshield smashed. Next day I switched to hitch mounted bike carrier.
